Résumé
Surgical decompression, deformity correction, and instrumentation of the upper cervical spine are challenging problems in cervical kyphosis, especially in infants and pediatrics. According to patients' age, surgical exposure is difficult and selecting the appropriate instrument for rigid fixation is crucial. In this article, we present a case of 2 years old with cervical angular kyphosis, which was approached posteriorly at first. Through posterior approach, C3-C5 laminectomy with complete excision of spinous process was performed. Then, the patient's position was changed to supine and C3-C5 corpectomies were performed anteriorly with a longitudinal incision, and the thecal sac was decompressed. A titanium cage with appropriate size and graft was placed after possible deformity correction conducted with head traction and neck extension. Anterior fixation was performed with two, 2-mm T-shaped metacarpal plates with two screws in C2 and four screws in C6. The patient's position was changed to prone again, and posterior fixation was done with two metacarpal plates located on lateral masses. We showed that a novel technique in correction and fixation of cervical kyphosis in pediatric is using metacarpal plates while they are fixed to lateral masses.
